Healthy (Office) Habits

09. Jun, 2010 0 Comments

Just read a great article about how to make your job healthier and wanted to share. Here are few healthy tips:

  1. Stop eating at your desk (I’m guilty of devouring Chiptole at my desk while conducting a conference call and checking emails. At this rate my healthy days are numbered.)
  2. Add plants to your area.
  3. Improve your posture.
  4. Find a way to reduce work pressure.
  5. Reduce overtime as much as possible (shocking, I know)

Read the rest at usnews.com. Now, get back to work...

My office is going through a budget crisis, so they stopped buying office supplies. I have to bring my own office supplies to work.

I’m such an awkward tween. And by tween I mean 26 year old.

Missing: Dental Floss

28. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

I’ve started to steal personal items from random workstations. Pens. Mugs. Dental Floss. Family Portraits. Taking these insignificant items helps me hate my job a little less.

Pee-Pee

22. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

My office likes to make up quirky names for employees. My name is Peter…someone thought it would be cute to call me Pee-Pee. Even during conference calls with clients in Japan.

Darth Vader

I have a habit of drunk dialing my office and leaving my supervisor obscene messages in a Darth Vader voice. She thinks she has a stalker.

“Thank God for Small Favors”

04. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

Construction is being done in my office building. One of the construction workers came into the men's bathroom, sat down in the stall RIGHT next to me (there were 4 other empty stalls,) and right before he drops what I'm sure has to be the biggest, foulest, most suffocating load in history he says, "Whew! Thank God for small favors." There was nothing small about the "favor" this man just granted me.

Hitler

04. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

My old boss always one-upped people, and was telling a story about her dead mother, and how she found all these interesting things in her mother's house when they were clearing it out. Human Resources told me I should try to find a way to relate to her, so I said, "Oh, interesting! Always great to find links to history. Once, I found pictures of my grandparents marching with Mahatma Gandhi in the freedom movement." Her response? "Well that's exactly like when I found my mother's swastika armband from her time in Germany. She really loved it there."

Our 57-year old office secretary casually admitted to sleeping with our 19 – year old intern. He has horrible acne and she smells like moth balls. Disgusting.

Bitchin

02. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

My intern has a habit of calling everything “bitchin”. The stapler is bitchin. The copier is bitchin. Our office cafe is bitchin. I have no idea if bitchin is good or bad term. I need to have a discussion with him about not using the "b" word in the office, especially around potential clients.

Porn-conference

23. Nov, 2009 1 Comment

Last week I caught our intern watching porn and masturbating in our company conference room. To avoid his ultimate embarrassment and dismissal from our internship program we had a light-hearted “bro” talk and he promised not to do it again. I actually found the whole bit amusing. That was until I booked the conference room for a huge presentation for prospective clients. Instead of my presentation we watched 2 horrifying minutes of a mass orgy.
